Jessica 2 reviews

Hi❣️ I hope you are well! 💐 My name is Jessica! I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with a B.S. in Psychology from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, including coursework in Child Development. I have extensive experience working with children ages 0–12 in both private family and educational settings, including as a nanny, babysitter, elementary classroom aide at a private school, and K–5 Program Coordinator at Cove Elementary, a public school. At Cove Elementary, I spent a year leading enrichment activities ranging from financial literacy and sewing to gardening, circuits, and hands-on creative projects. I love working with children of all ages, with a particular passion for early childhood development! I’ve provided consistent care for toddlers and love creating warm, engaging environments that nurture children’s curiosity, independence, and confidence through outdoor adventures, imaginative play, reading, creative activities, and screen-free learning. My approach to childcare is strongly influenced by Montessori philosophy, particularly its emphasis on respecting each child’s individuality, encouraging independence, and learning through hands-on exploration. I’ve also had the opportunity to shadow an in-home Montessori preschool program, and I enjoy incorporating these principles into my private nannying through child-led activities, practical life skills, and developmentally appropriate learning opportunities. Above all, what I value most is becoming someone a family can truly rely on. I care deeply about the children I work with and find a real sense of purpose in supporting the whole family, not simply providing childcare. I’m happy to help with meal preparation, outings, errands, light household tasks, and keeping things organized! :) I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, and I take safety, reliability, and communication seriously. I’m highly responsive to messages and believe that clear, consistent communication is essential to building trust with families. I especially love building lasting relationships with families and would be thrilled to connect with a family looking for consistent, recurring care! Hope to meet you! 💌

“Jessica is an excellent caregiver. Our family has known her for 4 years, and worked with her over the last ~6 months. She is extremely bright, college-educated, and has worked in public school and private family settings. She currently cares for our 6 month old on a regular basis, and is excellent at following our requests about care, and brings a huge smile to our daughter’s face. She is extremely organized, timely and communicative, and has a very evident love for children. She also happily engages with our 6 year old when our older daughter is home from school, and very naturally plays and speaks to children. We look forward to continuing to work with her!”
